Buying a product once and expecting subsequent updates is greedy, and I didn't see anyone suggesting that.

I don't think that really applies to the thread here, honestly. :/

This is the post I originally responded to:

>I used to upgrade every couple of versions. This has ended up costing me way more. But I still pay it because I need the software. So I guess they win...

So my post makes perfect sense. They were going to raise the price on you anyways, so you were going to pay more either way. With the new pricing model you're paying more and getting versions you might have otherwise missed.
